Power saving mode active at all time. Only way last me a bit longer. Compare watch 4 nothing seem improved as much. We are using same processor from last year model.

Yeah. I had the watch 4 as well and only reason why I wanted to upgrade was for the battery. So it annoys me so much that my battery isn't even that much better 😑

Just went to the service center and even the agent there said that it wasn't normal that my watch doesn't last more than 2 days.

Left it there for repairs (battery replacement). I guess we'll see how it goes after I get it back in a week or 2.

The first time, they had returned it to me saying there was no problem and they only reflashed the firmware.

I used it a bit more until the watch learned my battery usage pattern again and it was still dying too fast so I brought it to the service center again.

Another agent helped me this time and he also had a GW5 Pro. We compared battery life and he too said that it wasn't normal.

So he took my watch for repair again and said he'll push it for actual replacement this time.

They replaced the motherboard and battery and ever since then, my issue has been fixed. My battery life lasts longer now.
